Now onto the part of the story that everyone has been waiting for…slashy goodness…J On a side note, you’ve noticed my changing point of views I take it…well…I started this chapter with Jon, but only because he had a really short paragraph in the last chapter.

 

Chapter: 4

 

            I could tell Adam was having a hard time keeping his eyes and even more so, his brain on the road.  He ran two stop signs, luckily at empty intersections.  All I could think about was being a decapitated corpse at the morgue instead of being an employee there, so you can imagine my relief when we finally pulled into the Bowen’s driveway.

            The house was completely dark and foreboding looking, funny, that’s what my house’s atmosphere was.  I followed Adam to the door which he unlocked and opened to a dark hallway.

“My parents are asleep so we have to keep it down.”  He said.  I did a mental double take.

“And just what exactly, are we doing?” I inquired with a raised eyebrow.

“Watching a movie of course, what did you think we were doing?” Adam replied slyly.  I followed Adam’s lead, took my shoes off and headed to the den with him where there was a television and some comfortably worn looking furniture.  I sat down at the opposite end of the couch from Adam, finding no reason to sit close enough to sit on his lap.

“What movie do you want to watch?” Adam asked me as he flicked on the television and images flashed by on it blindingly in the dark room.

“I dunno, whatever you want to watch is fine.” I said dully.  I watched as my date stood up, selected a tape, and popped it into the VCR.  When he sat back down, it was purposely much closer to me, our legs touching.  The movie trailers flickered by slowly and I squirmed in my seat uncomfortably.  I was about ready to jump out of my seat at the slightest movement with my nerves lately.  About twenty minutes of the movie passed by before Adam put his arms around my shoulder.  I looked over at him, quite startled, and he pulled me towards him, rapidly narrowing the space between us until our lips touched.  This time his tongue pushed past my lips almost immediately and started battling mine.  Faggot!!!!!!!  My mind screamed at me.  I didn’t care, in fact, part of me ignored the fact that I was kissing a guy.  This felt good, it felt the same as kissing a girl…almost.  Adam moved his arms so that they wrapped around me, one hand resting on the small of my back.  The movie continued to play as a kind of background music for our make out session, but I don’t think either of us really noticed.

            My breathing was coming in quick pants, that is, when my lips weren’t pressed against Jonathan’s and my tongue in his mouth.  I was just faintly aware that I was in fact, making out with another guy, but dismissed any doubts of my sexuality as “it’s a dare” and my guilty conscience as “it feels good”- for both of us. 

I pulled Jonathan closer until he was straddling my lap, facing me, my tongue forcefully playing with his, taking the lead that he seemed reluctant to take.  One of my hands slipped under Jonathan’s shirt, like I normally would have done with a girl, but this time there were no breasts for me to fondle.  My fingers instead, encountered his prominent ribcage.  He flinched away and that’s when I remembered his injury.

“Jonathan?” I whispered softly in his ear to make sure he was okay.  His eyes were watery from the pain, and maybe the shame?

“I’m fine.” He insisted timidly.  I started to suck on his neck gently while one hand held him in my lap and the other found his nipples, teasing the small buds until they were erect with pleasure.  My hand left Jonathan’s nipples unattended for a moment so that I could strip off his t-shirt.  What I saw when I removed his virtually second skin, startled me.  The bruise on his pale skin was mottled a macabre purple yellow.  There were faded scars littering his thin torso.  Jon’s entire body tensed and he looked away from me, his long brown hair shielding his eyes.  This time I didn’t speak, I just let my fingers trace over the bruise and the longest of the scars.  He looked at me for a moment, directly in the eyes.  For the second time that night I couldn’t help but feel that there was something more to the highschool queer that I had originally thought, but I couldn’t see it.  My lips went straight to his ribcage, kissing and sucking, surely leaving marks on him to match the one on his neck.  A quiet moan escaped Jon’s lips when I took one of his nipples into my mouth.  My hands, now with nothing to do, worked their way into the back of his pants between the denim of his jeans and the cotton fabric of his boxers.  Jon gasped when I use my hands to pull his hips down into mine and suddenly I knew why.  It was the first time that I really became aware of exactly how aroused I was- and Jon.  Our erections brushed clumsily against one another as we continued to heatedly make out.  I was trying not to, but I let out a stifled moan.

“Let’s go upstairs.” I said hoarsely, “please, let’s go to my room.”  What we were going to do up there was beyond reasonable thinking for me right now, but I knew we had better be in private to do it.  I left the movie running and grabbed Jon’s arm, pulling him out into the hall with me, giving him just barely enough time to pick his shirt up off the floor.  I was aching with want and need and shoved Jon almost roughly against the wall, grinding into him.  He groaned and his head fell back, hitting the wall behind him with a dull thud.  But he really didn’t seem to care much.  Finally I just decided to pick Jon, who was a lot smaller than I up, and carry him to my room.  I shoved the door closed with my foot before setting Jon down on the bed and climbing in on top of him.  I leaned back on my knee’s taking off my own shirt and then attacked Jon’s lips and neck once again.  His skin was heated and sweaty, much like mine, though his was smooth and just about hairless.  The only thing that reminded me I was making out with a guy, not a girl or a child, was his hard on pushing into my leg, which I decided to do something about.  Slowly, I let my hand drift in between us until I could grope the boy under me gently through the front of his jeans.  A small cry fell from his lips and he closed his eyes.  Slowly, slightly unsure of myself, I started to undo the button on Jon’s jeans.  His eyes flashed open, yet revealed nothing to me.  My fingers slowly slid down the zipper, exposing black boxers, shielding his erection from clear view.  I could hear his breathing speed up as I carefully slid my hand under the band of them.  I could feel the warmth as I pushed my hand between his thighs and found his erection, gently gripping the shaft.  I leaned down again and started to nip and kiss Jon’s neck while my hand moved slowly.  Jon’s breathing hitched and he whimpered out something.  I was so far off it seemed to come from a distance;

Oww- stop.  I can’t do this right now.”

I had no choice but to reluctantly pull my hand from between Jon’s legs.  When I looked and saw his face it was pasty white and there was this look is his eyes…terror?  No not quite…

“I’m sorry.” I said quickly, not sure if that was going to do with the amount of damage I had just done.  I slowly rolled off of him so that he could sit up.

“No I’m sorry.” Jon said quietly, “It’s just, this is way too fast for me.”  I had a feeling that this wasn’t the complete truth, but being the issue was a little sensitive, I didn’t pry.

“It’s alright.”  I comforted, “I guess we were going a little fast.”  Jon nodded and did up his jeans.

“Are you sure you’re alright?” I asked.

“Yeah- I’ll be okay, it’s not your fault.”  The words toppled out of Jon’s mouth awkwardly.

“Well, okay, again, I’m really sorry.” I apologized, ignoring my painfully hard erection.  I leaned over and gave Jon a small peck on the lips.

“When you’re ready okay?  That doesn’t have to be tonight, that can be later.” I said.  Jon was putting his shirt on when I said this and paused, finally pulling the shirt fully over his head he turned and looked at me.

“What are you say?” he squinted at me, like he was scrutinizing both me and my words.

“I’m attempting to subtly ask you out.” I said flatly.

“Oh.”  There was silence.  I waited a moment before I spoke.

“Will you go out with me?” I said outwardly.  If I could have paused that moment, I would have been able to pin point it as one of the most vulnerable and embarrassing moments in my life.  Jon looked at his hands.  Uh oh. 

“Let me think about it okay?” he said, “I’ll call you.”

“Okay.” I heard myself reply, though I felt empty, brain separated from body.

“I’d better go home.” Jon said, standing up.  He was shaking slightly.

“Oh, I’ll get my keys.” I volunteered, dreading the ride home.

“No, it’s okay.  I ‘ll walk.” He said.  This was really turning bad quickly.  I got up and walk Jon downstairs and to the door.  The relief came when he turned to me before leaving.

“I had a good time.” He said before leaning in and giving my lips, which surely hung open in surprise, a short kiss.  When I shut the door after Jon left I still felt empty, now mixed with severe confusion.  I was realizing that I was curious about Jon as a person, genuinely, not because I was being forced to act like it.  There was also the fact that making out with him had really turned me on, to the point when I had thrown all consequences and inhibitions right out the window.  I was supposed to be in control and I wasn’t anymore.

            The walk home was much needed for me to attempt at sorting out my thoughts.  As I took my time, feet shuffling along the pavement and through a few parks, various thought swirled through my head uncontrollably.  Does this mean I’m gay?  I made out with another guy and got hard off of it.  We almost ended up going all the way- until I freaked out and ended it.  Maybe I’m not gay.  Maybe it was just too invading…like before…But in the back of your mind you wanted to…you really really wanted to.  Adam had just thrown me a complete and total curve ball in all of this.  I had expected this to all be a sick joke, for his friends to show up at one point during our “date”, or even for him to make a move and see if I responded, then humiliate me.  But none of that had happened.  Adam had actually asked me out, and seemed vulnerable about it, not staged.  This made me truly wonder is he knew what he was getting into, what he was doing, how humiliated he would be at school everyday.

            Finally I arrived at the door to my darkened house.  It was just about 12:00…damn walk across town.  Lily would be asleep, Dad would be at the recording studio and Alyssa would most likely be up, cramming for one of Mr. Nick’s infamous pop quizzes in Math, and waiting for the phone to ring so she could jump to her big brother’s rescue.  I unlocked the door and opened it, entering the small, dark front hall in relative silence, the only sound I really made was when I bent to pull of my shoes and let each one fall to the floor with a dull thud before picking them up and taking them to my room.  Lily would definitely throw my old sneakers out the moment she saw them.  I was just about to go in my room and fall asleep for the night when I noticed the narrow beam of line escaping from under Alyssa’s bedroom door.  I knocked quietly.

“Come in!” I heard her call softly.  I opened the door to see Alyssa sitting on her bed, papers and a binder surrounding her.  My hypothesis had been right.

“Hey,” She greeted, “How’d it- woah-”

“What?” I asked cluelessly.

“Make out much?” Alyssa asked nosily.

“What?!” I cried, caught off guard, “No!”

“Than what are those on your neck?” Alyssa asked, gesturing with her pen.  Oh no.  My breath hitched in my throat and I leaned over to look in Alyssa’s mirror above her dresser.

“Oh shit!” I cursed out loud.  If I didn’t know better I would have to say my date Adam, was a vampire.  There were redish purpleish “Love bites” in a ring around my neck.  I pulled the collar of my shirt to the side, revealing another hickie.  Alyssa giggled from where she sat.

“Well that must have been a good date, did you get ‘laid’?” Alyssa asked, using the term I had used earlier in the day.

“No,” I said indignantly, “though he probably would have fucked me if I hadn’t stopped him.”

“Ph my god!”

“’Lis stop, it’s not necessarily a good thing.  Remember how skeptical you were of him in the first place?” I said.  I was still hung up on the possibility that this was just all one mean dare.

“I do- be he made out with you, and he’s a guy.  Nobody who wasn’t at least bisexual would make out with you if they were a guy, on just a dare.  They would have to at least have some interest in you.” Alyssa explained in an effort to make me feel better.

“He asked me out.” I chose to blurt at that point in time.  Alyssa had opened her mouth to speak again, but closed it.  “He took a risk and asked out the town fag.” I spat indifferently.

“Hmm, I wonder, could he possibly have an interest in my big brother?”  Alyssa joked sarcastically.

“’Lis I don’t know what to do.” I whined, “I can’t help but think, at least in the back of my head, that this is just a sick joke.  But I want to go out with him.  But I know I can’t.”

“There’s nothing stopping you from going out with him.  If he’s an asshole, and there is a re, think about it, no damage is done by going out with him.” Alyssa began to explain, “If you go out with him, you confirm that you are at least bisexual, and therefore confirm what everyone is making fun of you for.  The moron’s at school only make fun of you because they think it bothers you.  Going out with Adam would be like a big ‘Fuck you I am a fag.  What are you going to do about it?’  then people really couldn’t make fun, and wouldn’t.  It would be a waste of time because you would be flaunting who you are and being proud about it.  They honestly can’t treat you any worse just because you date someone.”

Wanna bet?” I grumbled

“Honestly Jon, you’ve never been afraid to take risks before, look at how you dress, and your part time job is working in a morgue.” My little sister tried to say as encouragement, “why are you so afraid this time?”  I took a deep breath in an attempt to try and explain, but decided against doing so.  I was too tired to even think.  Plus, with the amount of things going on it my brain at the moment, I didn’t want to think anymore.

“I can’t explain it.”  I just need to think.

“Okay well, think about it then.  Until then I have to study for this damn quiz, see you tomorrow.” Alyssa said with a sigh.

“’night.” I said over my shoulder as I went to my own room.  I collapsed into my bed after pulling down the blind so that there was complete darkness and complete solitude for me to think about just what was going on in my head and in my life.

 

 

 

Okay, well I was going to continue here but what I had I thought was crap so I am doing a little rewriting..I refuse to succumb to writers block again…the last time that happened it was devastating to my creativity.  Thanks to anyone who is reading this and liking it, and a special thank you to anyone who is reviewing it.
                On another note, sorry the slash scene may be a little rough as because of my writers block I haven’t written one in awhile…anyway tell me what you think...
